March weather in Nice, France

The heralding of spring has come, with March in Nice. Weather is generally acceptable, the temperatures being from around 9°C (48°F) to 15°C (59°F). Nevertheless, temperatures can change and you will see occasional rain showers. Before venturing out, it is wise to bring along a small umbrella or a light jacket made of waterproof fabric in case the weather changes without warning.

What to Pack

Layers

To adapt to the temperature change in Nice in March, layering your outfit is essential. Base it on a light light layer, such a t-shirt, or long sleeve shirt and then add on a sweater or cardigan. This will give you the opportunity to carry on based on the changing clothes according to the changing temperature throughout the day. Keep a light jacket or a blazer in there to get you warmed up in the case of cooler evenings.

Bottoms

Wear jeans, trousers or skirts made from breathable fabrics that are comfortable bottoms. You may also want to spruce yourself with a pair of leggings or tights to wear under your skirts and dresses if it is cooler. You will be leaving a few sake coupons for later besides which don’t forget to bring a few pairs of socks and comfortable shoes for exploring the city.

Footwear

With respect to footwear, make sure to pick shoes to wear around Nice for walking. If you are going to explore the city streets or walking on Promenade des Anglais, sneakers or flat shoes are ideal. Also pack a pair of dressier shoes if you are going to eat on more formal restaurants or will be part of any special events.

Rain Gear

We have already mentioned earlier that March in Nice sometimes brings unexpected rain showers. Have a compact umbrella or a lightweight rain jacket packed just in case. Once you’re in the city these items will come in handy during your explorations and will keep you dry.

Accessories

Accessories can add a style to your outfit while also accessorizing it. In March, a hat will shield you from sun and rain. Aversely, a light scarf can also be an accessory that can keep you warm when the temperature for a little time begins to drop. To shield your eyes from the bright sun, you must have sunglass with UV protection.

What Not to Wear

Heavy Winter Clothing

However with temperatures in Nice never extreme, particularly in March it is not advisable to bring heavy winter clothing pieces such as thick coats, heavy sweaters or snow boots. These items will make you feel overdressed for the weather and will make you uncomfortable.

Open-Toe Shoes

In March I am tempted to rock polewings but I better suppress that. Though the weather is still unpredictable, you will want to protect your feet and keep them warm. For this time of year closed to shoes are the better choice.
